Ouellette is representing himself in the lawsuit – which, judging from the scattered complaint, may not be the best idea (YouTube is described as “indispensable to any person trying to publicize political issues,” with users including “President Barack Obama, al-Qaeda terrorists, and freedom fighters opposed to oppressive regimes in China, Tajikstan, Myanmar and numerous other countries and regions”) – and although his complaint is shot through with more than a little paranoia, it’s worth hoping that it makes the companies named as defendants and others reconsider their approach to information dissemination. If nothing else, you’d think that YouTube could have a video version…?
